    Santiago to Finisterre (90km) in one day

    Delighted I saw your post. I have very little time at the end of an upcoming section Astorga-Santiago but I should have a day or two so if my feet are in good shape I will keep going.

    Strategy that lasts 10 minutes

    Hi readers. Don't really need advice but I have 5 1/2 weeks before I start my 4th Frances segment which will take me to Santiago at least. My previous segments finished in Logrono, Belorado and Astorga. I have 12 days which is plenty to get from Astorga to Santiago. What I find a little amusing...

    Restarting in Belorado in August

    Looking forward to continuing my journey. Walked St Jean to Logrono last year. Family (aged 13 - 50) walked Logrono to Belorado in June. Next stage is Belorado to Leon in August, just myself again. I've enjoyed both the uncertainty of setting off by myself and the completely different...

    Walking the Camino Frances alone in September

    I walked "alone" last September, just 7 days starting from St. Jean. There should be a couple of hundred starting per day. If you're starting in St Jean, most people start at the same time (around 6.30 - 7.45) so most likely you will be surrounded. I met many of the friends that I walked with on...

    First timer: St Jean - Logrono segment

    I'll certainly keep an eye out. She's likely to stay a day ahead of me though.

    First timer: St Jean - Logrono segment

    That's a lot of walking. Makes my 160km to Logrono look like a stroll! I feel pretty well prepared at this stage. I've taken on board all the advice about keeping the pack light. Slight apprehension about the first day's walking (for me to Roncenvalles).

    Packing to Go (with Thanks!) But Will There Be Music?

    Buen Camino, I'm a day behind you but I'll watch out for the Maryland State flag just in case. John.

    First timer: St Jean - Logrono segment

    Thanks for the tip. Just checked it out. I'll miss it by a whisker. It starts on the 17th and I am flying out on the 16th.

    Hi Mark, good luck also in your preparations. I feel fairly organised: next step is to select trail runners. At present I own hiking boots and runners and neither seem to do the job. John.

    First Timer - September 2016!

    Won't see you. I'm a week ahead of you. I haven't done anything this adventurous since 1993. Don't know what will happen. But I know the experience is going to be wonderful. Best of luck and enjoy every moment.

    Afraid not. You're right, a very common name.

    First timer: St Jean - Logrono segment

    Maybe I'm a well known Irish actor ...

    First timer: St Jean - Logrono segment

    Hi community, Taking my first leg of the journey from St Jean to Logrono 8-16 Sept 2016. First walking day 9 Sept. Looking forward to meeting some of you on the way. Hoping to complete the Camino in about four segments by the end of 2017. John Dublin
